1 September 19, 2012 PEEL YORK HALTON DURHAM HAMILTON TORONTO YONGE- EGLINTON MOBILITY HUBS: places of connectivity between regional and rapid transit services, where different modes of transportation come together seamlessly. They have, or are planned to have an attractive, intensive concentration of employment, living, shopping and enjoyment around a major transit station. There are two types of mobility hubs identified in The Big Move: Anchor Hubs and Gateway Hubs. Anchor Hubs are major transit station areas associated with an urban growth centre (as defined in the Province's Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe). Gateway Hubs are major transit station areas that are located at the interchange of two or more current or planned regional rapid transit lines. YONGE-EGLINTON is identified as an Anchor Hub in the Greater Toronto & Hamilton Area (GTHA) and includes the TTC's Eglinton subway station on the Yonge-University-Spadina Line in the City of Toronto. As defined in The Big Move, this hub is planned to integrate subway, Rapid Transit and local bus service.

DEMOGRAPHIC SEGMENTATION 3 Environics Analytics' Prizm C2 segmentation system uses census data to segment Canadians into 66 "lifestyle types." The following three groups are most prevalent in : 41% of households are primarily made up of young, single immigrants. Many residents are recent graduates and students living in apartment dwellings. 34% of households primarily consist of singles and couples, with more than half holding university degrees. These residents work in office jobs and live in high-rise apartments and condos. 10% of households primarily contain young singles and couples. These residents are university graduates with entrylevel jobs and average household incomes who rent. 2 September 19, 2012

5 s MOBILITY HUB GLOSSARY ANCHOR HUBS The major transit station area associated with an urban growth centre (as defined in the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe) are identified as anchor hubs, as are Pearson Airport and Union Station due to their roles as the GTHA s primary international gateways. BUS RAPID TRANSIT (BRT) Similar to light rail transit operating predominantly in protected rights-of-way, separate from other traffic, but using advanced bus technology. Also includes buses operating in mixed traffic on controlled-access expressways that employ congestion management such as tolls, thereby allowing the buses to maintain high average speeds. The capacity of BRT is typically 2,000 to 10,000 passengers per hour, peak direction. Average speed: 15 to 40 km/h depending on station spacing, with higher speeds possible on grade-separated rights-of-way on controlled access highways. Example: Vancouver 98B Line (Richmond section), Ottawa Transitway system. EXPRESS RAIL High-speed trains, typically electric, serving primarily longer-distance regional trips with two-way all-day service. Regional Express service could have a capacity of 25,000 to 40,000 passengers per hour in the peak direction with trains operating in completely separated rights-of-way, with as little as 5 minutes between trains. Average speed: 50 to 80 km/h with stations two to five km apart. Example: Paris Region Réseau Express Regional (RER). GATEWAY HUBS To be identified as a gateway hub, a major transit station area must be located at the interchange of two or more current or planned regional rapid transit lines as identified in The Big Move, and be forecasted to have 4,500 or more combined boardings and alightings in the morning peak period in In addition, these areas generally have the potential to achieve a minimum density of approximately 10,000 people and jobs within an 800 metre radius. LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT (LRT) Streetcar trains (up to three or four cars per train) operating on protected rights-of-way adjacent to or in the medians of roadways or rail rights-of-way. Generally at-grade, possibly with some sections operating in mixed-traffic and/or in tunnels. Electric power is normally via an overhead trolley or pantograph. Capacity of 2,000 to 10,000 passengers per hour in the peak direction, with higher capacities where there are significant stretches of completely segregated rights-of-way. Average speed: 15 to 35 km/h depending on station spacing and extent of grade separation. Examples: Calgary and Edmonton LRT systems. MOBILITY HUB Some of the major transit stations in the GTHA are particularly significant given the level of transit service that is planned for them and the development potential around them. They are places of connectivity between regional rapid transit services, and also places where different modes of transportation, from walking to high-speed rail, come together seamlessly. They have, or are planned to have an attractive, intensive concentration of employment, living, shopping and enjoyment around a major transit station. There are two types of mobility hubs identified in The Big Move: Anchor Hubs and Gateway Hubs. PROXIMITY OF GO CUSTOMERS - STATION CATCHMENT AREA The station catchment area is the area around the station that captures 85% of station users. For example, if the station catchment area is reported as 5 km, then 85% of GO customers originate within a 5 km radius circle of that station. REGIONAL ACTIVITY CENTRES AND OTHER DESTINATIONS Regional activity centres and destinations are unique places within the region that have significant drawing and trip generating power. Regional activity centres include universities, colleges, airports, regional shopping centres (typically 200+ stores), hospitals (typically 300+ beds), and arenas (typically 5,000+ seating capacity), and arts centres (typically 1,000+ seating capacity). Other destinations include, but are not limited to, government offices, large shopping facilities, high schools, community centres, municipal recreational facilities, and public libraries. REGIONAL RAIL Diesel-electric or electric trains serving primarily longer-distance regional trips; approximate capacity at 10-minute headways of 5,000 to 20,000 passengers per hour peak direction; service can be enhanced by electrification, enabling better train performance (acceleration) and therefore higher average speeds even with relatively close station spacing. Average speed: 30 km/h with two km station spacing; 50 km/h with wider station spacing or electrified trains. Example: GO Transit rail system. REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLAN (RTP) The Regional Transportation Plan for the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) - entitled The Big Move is Metrolinx s 25-year transportation plan. It sets the vision, goals and objectives that are to guide transportation planning in the region for the future. The RTP also establishes a transportation network to guide future investments in transportation infrastructure. 5 September 19, 2012
